About

Bachelor of Science in Biology

The Kennesaw State University (KSU) Bachelor of Science in Biology will provide you with the opportunity to pursue a major field of concentration in biology with the necessary specialization to succeed in a wide array of post-baccalaureate opportunities. This program is interdisciplinary and is shared between the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology and the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.

As a biology student, you will be introduced to living systems at various levels of complexity, from atoms to the biosphere. Evolution provides a framework for examining questions, hypotheses, and predictions.

The importance of research and experimentation in biology is stressed throughout our curriculum. You will have the opportunity to explore the basic principles and assumptions of the scientific process, then practice them in highly experiential lab courses and research experiences.

This program offers two (2) degree concentrations, each with its own specialized field and focus designed for your success:

General Biology
Human Health
